Milan’s Champions League Hopes Diminish as They Risk Losing Ground
Napoli is set to host Bologna on Monday, a team that is making waves in Serie A, presenting a chance to reignite the Scudetto race.
The “Azure” were “gifted” an opportunity by the reigning champions Inter, who managed a draw against Parma (2:2) after leading 2:0 at halftime.
During the first half, the home team scored twice (with Jan Zomer on defense), while Inter capitalized on two out of five major chances to take a solid lead.
They found the net through Matteo Darmian, followed by a fortunate goal from Marcus Thuram, giving the “Nerazuris” a seemingly comfortable six-point cushion over the Neapolitans.
However, Parma responded strongly, with Adrian Bernabeu and Jakob Ondrejka scoring to level the match, securing a well-deserved draw.
They nearly completed a comeback, but Mateo Pellegrino squandered a prime opportunity from seven meters.
Inter currently has a game in hand and leads Napoli by four points.
In contrast, their city rivals Milan salvaged a point after being down 2:0, but this holds little significance for them as they lag behind teams competing for Champions League spots.
Fiorentina initially took the lead in the fashion capital with ten minutes in, scoring through an own goal from Malik Chau and a goal by Moise Ken, while Tami Abraham and Luka Jović equalized the match, finishing 2:2.
